They're looking for an innovative engineer to build novel real-time streaming systems using Elixir/Erlang and Python. This isn't about implementing existing frameworks - it's about designing creative solutions from first principles. You'll architect agent-based systems handling massive concurrent data streams, all on open-source, self-hosted infrastructure. Perfect for someone who wants to think outside the box and build something unique.

Responsibilities:

• Design and build a custom streaming platform from scratch;
• Think creatively about solving problems differently than everyone else;
• Comfortable building your own tools when existing ones don't fit.

Qualifications:
    • 5+ years specifically with Elixir and/or Erlang;
    • 8+ years total experience as a Software Engineer;
    • Proven track record of architecting complex systems;
    • Experience building high-concurrency systems (handling millions of events/sec);

    • Experience with real-time data streaming (Kafka, RabbitMQ, or similar);
    • Experience with distributed systems architecture;
    • Experience with OTP (Open Telecom Platform);
    • Experience with agent-based architectures or actor model systems;
    • Experience with workflow orchestration (managing data pipelines);
    • Experience working without managed cloud services (on-premise, self-hosted);
    • Experience with open-source streaming tools (no AWS, Azure, GCP managed services).
 

We offer:

• Competitive market salary;
• Fully remote work;
• Convenient and somewhat flexible working hours (you will have to work until 20:00 Kyiv time GMT+3, or 1 pm EST);
• 28 business days of paid unbillable time per calendar year;
• The chance to work on meaningful, socially valuable products alongside a highly professional, US-based international team;
• Interesting technical challenges with opportunities to grow and learn.
